Review

"Book review - Good read. The characters are like able, especially Millie, Annette and Cat. Millie and the captain would make a cute couple." - Sassy girl

"A Delightful Read - This is the third book in Hope Callaghan's Cruise Ship Chronicles Cozy Mystery Series and, like the first two books, is a delightful read. Ms. Callaghan has written another book with a well-plotted storyline, well-developed characters and an interesting mystery to try to solve. I love reading a good Whodunit with no foul language, graphic violence or sexually explicit scenes. This book was easy to read and kept my interest from beginning to end ... I couldn't put it down! I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading light, cozy Christian mysteries...I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review." - - RO G'ma

"Millie super sleuth - Enjoy the well developed characters and plot. Fun and easy read. The twists make one read for more. Hope Callaghan is a talented author, who understands not only her characters, but her readers. The series does not disappoint." - Deutsche

"What a great, fun read - What a great, fun read. Love all her books. This is about an older woman who is an event cordinator on a cruise ship. There is laughter, romance and mystery." - Wanda Downs

    Wow what kinds of thugs might be chasing the captain in Jamaica? And now after Cat told her sad backstory, Millie knew her ex wasn’t someone to take lightly. But the main case was clearing Annette from food poisoning blame.

    From getting in some hot water with the big bosses to riding out a storm literally then figuring out a would-be killer, Millie’s done a lot in the short time she’s worked for the ship. The showdown was another good one and the end has another little side story clue to keep readers wanting more.

    This series is awesome as is this author! I have had this series for quite a while and haven't had the time to start reading it. I came across Millie in the latest book in her Savannah Garden series and started reading this one. I am so hooked, I have new books to read in other series that I closely follow the authors but they are just waiting till I am done with this series!! I am not stopping until I am done! I love Millie and the captain and Scout. Can't wait to see what happens further in this series! Very good writing, draws you right in, no cursing, no sex, nothing vulgar and disgusting. I also love the praying in it! Excellent, you won't be disappointed!!

    This book was fantastic. Again, a lot of false evidence and clues to make sure that the reader was led astray. The culprit was completely off the radar. I was completely fooled. I should have realized that it was too pat. Just great writing on the part of the author. The scenes are so vivid that the reader can see themself in the scene. I have been on a cruise, so I can picture myself there. Now I wonder if I would ever want to take another cruise. The answer is yes, but without the drama

    I have this fair read the first three of this book series. I have found them to be great for a good light read and the characters are easily to fall in love with. While these are a Christian book series there is not a heavy over tone to religion, they are kept clean and fun. My only complaint would be that the writer tends to brush over things quickly. There are times when more details are wanted but not given. All and all though I am enjoying reading about Millie and her exploits.
